Legion Four Horsemen

Each class in Legion is getting a special Order Hall Campaign with unique quests and missions. The Death Knight datamining has received a large amount of attention because of the shocking lore twists! As part of the Campaign, you will raise four new Horsemen.

In Legion, Thassarian decides that the horsemen would be very valuable against the Burning Legion:

The Four Horsemen were the most feared of all the scourge lords. The Archlich Kel'Thuzad considered them his greatest creation.

The Four Horsemen are damned souls, shackled in anguish for eternity. They would be powerful allies against the Burning Legion, but few would pay the price for such power.

These choices are surprising, so we've put them under a spoiler tag!Previously, we've covered quests pointing to Nazgrim and Thoras Trollbane being raised as Horsemen.

Nazgrim started off as a quest giver in Grizzly Hills (Sargento Nazgrim) and received promotions every expansion. He was later found in Vash'jir in Cataclysm as Legionnaire and in Mists of Pandaria as General. His last appearance was as the boss General Nazgrim in Siege of Orgrimmar.

Sally Whitemane was a priest whose personal tragedy forged an intense connection with the Light. According to the Grimoire of Damnation, a zealot is needed to strengthen the bond between the other souls.

Go to the Scarlet Monestary and raise High Inquisitor Whitemane from her tomb in the Scarlet Cathedral. Death has quelled her madness, but the strength of her spirit remains intact.

We will offer her the opportunity to atone for her sins. Speak with Thassarian when you arrive at the monestary.

These three champions are dressed in similar attire:

The fourth horseman is not showing up in the data as a champion or quest yet, but we datamined the scenario The Fourth Horseman:

About the fourth possible Horsemen... I dont think its right resurrecting Tyrion Fordring to be a undead Horsemen. He was a Hero of the Light. He had a great storyline and his death was well done and did him justice. It just doesnt seem like the right to do from a story point of view. He deserves to rest in peace :/

Fordring a death knight. Mwuahahahahaha I am pleased by this turn of events! Nazgrim and Whitemane as well. I don't know much about Thoras so I won't say much but Tirion as a Death Knight oh this will be grand to have the former leader of the argent crusade under my thumb.

I don't want to be rude or anything, but was this a typo?

Raise Tyrion Fordring

It just seems very Game of Thrones-ish to me.

Let us hope that the world bosses in Legion drop mounts otherwise nobody will do them once the gear they drop becomes obsolete like in WoD. MoP world bosses were always being killed, I still try every week lol!

I completely agree lore wise, although he did accept DKs into the fold so he can't be completely against them. It would also mean some more awesome voice acting from Bernard Hill which id say is a pretty good trade off.

They're not being forced, if it helps. They're given the choice. If they refuse, fine they stay dead. But if they choose it...

Tirion is definitely the sort who might consider undeath in order to keep defending his world. Nazgrim too.

I'm really looking forward to the Death Knight order campaign with all these Horsemen, so exciting! Same goes for the other classes, can't wait to see what they'll be up to.

And neat to see so many world bosses. Perhaps one for each zone, occasionally showing up along with all those other "Adventure Mode" questing areas? Either way, looking forward to that too.

I'm easily excited. :P

^ This completely. But also, there are a number of characters in the Ebon Blade that were forces of Light in the past. Darion being a major one. Read the Ashbringer comic if you have not, sets up the character well and shows how amazing his sacrifice was at the time.

Also, Tirion could have major repercussion on the lore as we see it now but I could possible get the see the Lich King I wanted back in Wrath. /giddy

I'm really disappointed with the fourth horseman. I think its a cheap thing to do to the lore and the character itself. Tirion deserves better than being raised to serve in undeath. Wasn't the whole event regarding his death meant to give him peace, to have him embraced by the light?

Comentario de ExxorD

on 2016-04-02T18:18:32-05:00

They can NOT do that to Tirion. If they decide to have him re-risen as a death knight, I will lose ALL faith in this game. This is akin to warlords ruthlessly desecrating divine places with ignorant, reckless abandon. Don't do this Blizzard, it WILL bite you in the ass in the future.

Until the Death Knight version of Tirion is added to the game, along with the questline, it's not a sure thing. Data strings during alpha/beta mean very little as their plans and ideas change often. I wouldn't worry about it yet.
